Chapter 18: Spring Break

Michaela's POV
It's officially the week of dad's last Spring Break and I'm super excited. I've never been to Florida before and these last few weeks have been so much fun. Til and I have been getting along pretty well and the boys are having a great time too. Mom and I went to a little shop near the beach a few days ago and we each got a few new bikinis while we're down here. Mama and I do little work outs at a small gym a few blocks over because she wants me to be strong like daddy and all the boys. It's a fun time for us because according to her we don't get nearly as much mother daughter time as she would like. It's the beginning of the week and daddy's first show is Wednesday afternoon at 3.

Today after mama and I did our morning workout together we went back to the hotel and saw everyone else making lunch. Dad greeted us as we walked in the door. Bo and Tate aren't here because they're much too young for all the strange things that happen here so it's me, Til, mom, daddy and mamaw LeClaire here. There's already a lot of people here and I'm really excited to see what everyone is like on concert days. Dad said we need to stay close by to the stage because once people start filing in it will be impossible to get through anywhere on the beach. He's just being protective thought for the most part. I met a few people but none of them seemed totally interesting except this one girl Allie that I met. She was about my age maybe a little older and we talked for a little bit while she was in line for dads show.

After we talked for a little bit we exchanged phone numbers and agreed that we should talk more. I forgot to ask her where she was from so I'd figure I'd text her about it after the show was over for today. She's a real pretty girl I'm surprised she wasn't here with a boyfriend or something. She was a few inches taller than me but we had close to the same hair color and similar clothing styles too. At first I thought I had met her before but I'm not sure. When everyone was coming into the beach for dads show I was hanging out with mom and mama LeClaire. Dad made a few jokes and had to pull his swim shorts up a few times because they wouldn't stay up.

Everyone kept laughing because he almost revealed his goods by accident. Til and I couldn't control how much we were laughing. Who wouldn't laugh at this? The beach was filled with so many people it was such a cool sight to see up close and personal.

"Mom buy him tighter shorts next time." I laughed.

"I will baby don't worry. But for now let's enjoy the show." She told me as she laughed too.

Just as we finished talking I heard the music stop. I looked up and dad was standing on the cooler looking out at the crowd then I heard him yelling.

"Are y'all fightin?" He yelled.

"Y'all better quit it or I'll stop singin. We got a lot of women and children here. Ain't nobody fightin anymore and if you do y'all are gonna be arrested. Ain't no one gonna get hurt at my last spring break." He scolded.

I heard the crowd cheering then he added something else.

"Ain't nobody gonna ruin my last fuckin spring break. This is my last show dammit." (He didn't say all that word for word but you guys get where it's from lol)

The whole crowd cheered and then he continued singing. Mom and I danced and then he brought her and mamaw on stage with him and they were dancing together on the cooler. It's so cute to see them acting like college kids without a care in the world especially since it's dads last show. I'm gonna miss going to PCB again but that just means he can start a new chapter with our whole family. He finished the show with his new spring break single "Spring Breakdown" and so many people were crying. The lyrics just make me tear up. Mom did too but she didn't let dad see. When he finished the show he thanked everyone for coming out for his last show before heading backstage to meet up with us.

I'm so proud of him for completing this part of his career but now he can start something new too. We decided to go out for dinner with everyone and it was so much fun. That night we got back to the hotel and decided to watch a movie. We all decided to watch Fast 5. Mom and dad were cuddling on the couch while Til and I were relaxing in the chairs on either side. We've come to an understanding about stuff so I think living together and me calling Luke dad will no longer be a problem at all. About half way or so through the movie Til and I noticed that mom and dad were asleep. We both laughed and I covered them up with a blanket before we went into the kitchen. The boys are still in Nashville with our nanny so it's just Til and I.

We went to the kitchen and got some food out of the fridge. I sat on the counter and he sat at the table as we shared a couple bowls of food.

"So can I ask you something?" He asked me.

"Go for it." I said as I popped a strawberry into my mouth.

"What was your life like before you came to live with us?" He asked.

Okay well I wasn't really expecting that but I guess I can trust him. So I ate another strawberry and swallowed before talking.

"Well, I lived in a foster home with an older boy Matt but he's not around anymore. Now that I think about it he just kinda dropped off the earth." I laughed.

"Well I'm sorry to hear that. But he's missing out. You're really a nice girl honestly. Even though I didn't really like you at first." He snickered.

"Oh gee thanks Til." I said sarcastically.

After we continued talking for a little while, we went to bed because the next morning we were heading out again to go back home. As I got into bed I realized something, I came from sort of having a family to really having a good family. He lost half his family. Maybe we're kinda similar that way. I fell asleep after a while.

*next morning*

I groaned as I heard an alarm go off and someone tore the covers off my legs.

"Come on sunshine, time to pack up." It was Luke or Til. Or whatever, it's early to think.

"Come on baby girl you gotta get up." He said, it's dad.

"I don't wanna though." I groaned.

"Baby we gotta go. You can lay down on the bus the whole way home. We gotta leave though. Come on your mama made bacon and eggs. I thought you would've smelled it by now." He laughed.

"Oh my god why didn't you just say that to begin with?" I smiled as I shot out of bed.

He laughed and we walked down stairs to see the rest of the family, the band, along with Vanilla and Black Mike. After we ate breakfast at the hotel we all loaded on the buses to go back home all the way to Nashville. I honestly can't wait to be get home.
